Mother's Day Coupon Book Craft

This is a fun and very helpful gift for Mother's Day any mom will love. Make a coupon book redeemable for chores like washing the dishes, folding the laundry, carrying groceries, or a back rub. There are fancy coupon templates from sites like Kaboose, but I think the home made variety are better and more special.

Materials:

construction paper

scissors

crayons

hole punch

1 or 2 brass fasteners

Directions:

Cut several big squares or rectangles from various colored construction paper all the same size.

Write different chores on each paper, maybe with a picture. Don't forget to make a cover page and write "Coupon Book for Mom" or the like. Decorate with hearts or stickers if you like.

Punch holes through all the pages.

Assemble the book with a brass fastener or metal ring.

Mommy tears out one coupon redeemable for a chore.

Make new coupons when they run out. Keep it going all year. Mom will really love that!
